This is a photograph of a decorative ceramic plate with a bird motif surrounded by floral patterns. The central part of the plate features an illustration of a bird amidst branches and flowers on a light blue background, all encased in a red circular border. The surrounding design consists of radiating triangular shapes colored in shades of ochre with blue accents, interspersed with clusters that resemble grains. The outer rim of the plate is adorned with red flowers against ochre and cream tones, while the plate rests against an olive green background.
